Publisher's Summary

A man who terrifies women for fun, a would-be mystery writer stalking his unscrupulous editors, an old man fantasizing about shooting his neighbor, Brittany Spears revenging her kidnapping, a wannabe writer actually killing people to work out his plots, madness uniting painters and critics together in a bloodbath, a magical ring revealing a hidden killer, a vampire disguised as the syringe of an old junkie, young communists developing lucid dreaming as an antidote to the class struggle....

The stranger the crime, the stranger the punishment, in this happy marriage of crime writing, horror, and surrealism. We live in a weirder and weirder world, no doubt about it - and Don Webb is the writer riding the crest of that wave. Cutting-edge tales from inside the curl.
